Following Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s speech in the National Assembly on Monday, the Opposition extended its support to the government for its decision to try former president Pervez Musharraf for treason under Article 6 of Constitution.
“Pervez Musharraf is accountable before the Constitution. Those who termed the Constitution mere a piece of paper should be rejected,” Leader of the Opposition Khurshid Shah said while addressing the house.
Shah demanded that even pictures of dictators should be removed for the Parliament House and other state buildings.
“This is the first step we are taking for the future,” he said.
Following Shah’s speech, PTI’s Shah Mehmood Qureshi addressed that house and assured his support to the ruling quarters.
“Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf has always upheld the Constitution, we will therefore support the law and constitution for the continuity of democracy in Pakistan,” Qureshi affirmed.
